    Well, how are you displaying your menus?
    The usual technique is to eneble/disable menu items directly before displaying them.

    Code:
     HMENU hResMenu = LoadMenu(g_hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(nMenuId));//g_hinst->Handle to the module containing the menu resource to be loaded.

HMENU hMenu = GetSubMenu(hResMenu,0);

EnableMenuItem(hMenu, ID_COMMAND_START, MF_BYCOMMAND | MF_DISABLED);

    Use MF_GRAYED rather than MF_DISABLED. And get some reading on those flags in MSDN.
    Best regards,
